Disambiguation

Please do not confuse this Ebenezer Allen, husband of Elizabeth Eddy and Sarah Waight, with Ebenezer, son of Daniel Allen. Both were born in Watertown, however, Daniel Allen's son relocated to Stonington, and married Ann Palmer. Several early publications have mistakenly created this false pedigree. The probate records of Daniel Allen clearly show that his son Ebenezer was in Stonington, Connecticut.

Bent, Allen Herbert, 1867-1926. 1896. Walter Allen of Newbury, Mass., 1640, and some of his descendants : with a few notes on the Allen family in general page 7 has the following:

10. Ebenezer3 Allen (Daniel,2 Walter1) was born in "Watertown, Mass..
      ​Dec. 26, 1674, but removed to Stonington, Conn., where he married
      Oct. 5, 1704, Anna Palmer, and was admitted to First Congre-
      ​gational Church, Oct. 7, 1705. The baptism of one child, Annie,
      ​​is recorded Jan. 20, 1706. Nothing further is known of him, but ​
      he should not be confused, as is done in Bond's "Watertown Genealo-
      gies, with the Ebenezer Allen (1677-1770), son of Lewis Alien, who is not related.

Allen-11688 and Allen-7129 appear to represent the same person because: Both married Elizabeth Eddy in Watertown, Massachusetts, on 02 April 1700.

So, I believe that Ebenezer is connected to the wrong parents. See https://archive.org/details/walterallenofnew00bent/page/6/mode/2up.

The administration bond of Daniel Allen's estate indicates that Daniel's son Ebenezer removed to Stonington by 1705. Further there is a mariage and birth record there for Ebenezer Allen marrying an Annie Palmer in 1704 and having a daughter Annie in 1705/6. This Ebenezer was the son of Lewis Allen. I'd like to change the birth info and move this profile over to the correct parents. Any objections?
